ATI Crossfire Multi VPU does split screen

NOW WE HAVE COMPLETED

our mission. We knew Multi VPU, Crossfire has three modes of rendering, AFR (Alternate Frame rendering), ATI exclusive Super Tiling and now we've found out about the last one. Crossfire supports SLI style split screen rendering.

In AFR, one card renders odd frames while the second one is rendering even frames. This is a very simple technique and we saw it before with ATI Rage Maxx cards.

Super tiling is rendering where each chip renders one tile of the whole frame. We have a picture to help you understand this better, below.

The last but not the least method is the well known split screen mode and Nvidia has used this technique for quite some time now. ATI will be able to support it as well.

Here is the picture of super tiling and as you can see that diagram actually confirms the external dongle connecter to DVI ports and that one card is master while the second one is the slave. µ
